When It Happens

(专辑： Playing Pretend In The Interim - 2020)

When it happens
There will be mourning
A tweet storm in my name
My best picture in a frame
That's how it usually goes
Oh, it's a contest
Of who really knew me best
Old photos would be found
Captioned with something profound
A memory nobody knows

So weep for me, my darling dear
Tomorrow you'll move on
I will leave my body here
But you've got miles to go
In a life I'll never know
So move on

Oh, when it happens
There'll be unmooring
Visitors in black
Wish for time they can't get back
Oh, it's a conquest
For who is grieving best
The tragedy is fresh
But when bones are laid to rest
You go on as you were before

Weep for me, my darling dear
Tomorrow you'll move on
I will leave my body here
But you've got miles to go
In a life I'll never know
So move on

The Wikipedia articles will be so quick to change
Present tense to past, how someone does this is still strange
The world will talk about it for a week
But I have found that everything is just fine without me

Weep for me, my darling dear
Tomorrow you'll move on
I will leave my body here
While you soar on your own
To a life I'll never know
So move on along
